Tetra-Shed: A Portable Wooden Home Office with a Rubber Skin

As more and more people choose to work from home, there’s an increased demand for rooms within a room. Some accomplish this configuration with multi-functional storage spaces, catch-all pods, and even meditation spaces. And some, like Innovation Imperative´s Tetra Shed take on the guise of a giant black rock. Its faceted, minimalistic, geometric aesthetic opts for the scant over the ostentatious; it fits an entire small office inside; it can be completely closed up, so you can relax and forget about work; and, let’s be honest, it’s quite the conversation piece.

Suitable for open-plan interiors or as a modern-day garden office, the Tetra Shed is a contemporary alternative for freelancers and those who work from home. Its versatile, modular design allows it to stand alone as a singular pod, or it can be used along with others in case you need extra space to shelter more people or belongings.

Tetra Shed is crafted from sustainable Structural Insulated Panels (SIP) and clad with a matte black rubber skin. While its exteriors are dark, its interiors are warm and bright thanks to a smooth birch plywood lining.

This faceted pod is fully configurable and customizable to best adapt to each customer’s needs. People can choose the fit-out, interior and exterior materials and colors, windows design, and optional extras.

Flatpacked and prefab, Tetra Shed weights 22 pounds. It comes complete with LED lighting, electric underfloor heating, and built-in speakers for blasting some tunes while you work (or procrastinate), all of which can be controlled through a specially designed app.
